Dollar declines against the euro amid mixed data

The dollar declined versus the euro early Tuesday after the release of a mixed bag of U.S. data, but its weakness mostly stems from a scaling back of U.S. interest-rate expectations.

By late morning Tuesday, the euro was at $1.5509 from $1.5478 late Monday, while the dollar was at 108.06 yen from 108.08 yen. The euro was at 167.61 yen from 167.29 yen late Monday. The U.K. pound was at $1.9536 from $1.9633, while the dollar was at 1.0432 Swiss francs from 1.0443 francs.
